"TOP 40 VIDEOS OF 2007" PREMIERES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11 AT 10 PM ET/PT

Once again VH1 puts on its music authority hat and counts down the Top
40 Music Videos of the year. This 2-hour special brings you the best music
videos that 2007 had to offer: the clips that thrilled us, rocked us, and
moved us in more ways than one. In this music-packed special, you'll hear
from artists, industry insiders, and other pop culture experts in all-new
interviews explaining exactly why these 40 videos are the very best of '07.
Among the many artists making this year's countdown are The Killers, Kanye
West, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Nickelback, Pink, Alicia Keys and Rihanna. The
Top 40 videos were determined by record sales, downloads, and time spent on
VH1's interactive "Top 20 Video Countdown" where music videos are chosen
weekly by viewer votes at top20.VH1.com. If it was big in 07, you'll find
it here.

2007 was the year of the celebrity. Don't argue. Just accept it. And
"Celebrity Eye Candy: Best of '07" is here to sum it all up. Lindsay.
Paris. Britney. This year-end wrap has all their lunacy, bizarre behavior
and amazing genius. It will cover a year of terrible driving, shocking
arrests and inappropriate touching. Plus, it's got Matthew McConaughey's
total year of 'dudeness,' Suri Cruise being cuter than a whole new
generation of budding superbabies and Amy Winehouse in all her toothy
glory. If a big star took off their clothes, said something ridiculous or
just ate a funny sandwich, it's going to be in this show-- and you're going
to love it. In other words, if you have even the slightest interest in the
flaws, failures and triumphs of the famous or nearly famous this year,
"Celebrity Eye Candy: Best of '07" is the only show you need to watch. No
host. No talking heads. Just wall to wall famous people in all-new footage
and photos.

As the 'Queen of All Media,' Perez Hilton is smack in the epicenter of
pop culture. Perez says goodbye to the insanity and drama of 2007 with the
mother- of-all award shows. Armed with a truckload of 'Perezzie Awards,'
Perez "honors" our favorite celebs and salutes the highlights and lowlights
of the year during "What Perez Sez: About 2007." Throughout this
end-of-year special, Perez hangs out with the stars that grabbed the
hottest headlines in 2007 including Bobby Brown, Gloria Estefan, Whoppi
Goldberg, Rihanna, the cast of "High School Musical" and Tiffany "New York"
Pollard from VH1's own "I Love New York." With his unique and scandalous
take on your typical award show, Perez Hilton squeezes every last bit of
pop culture juice out of 2007.
